The 84 Urq diff locks are pneumatic, the light is obviously electrical.  
Maybe you accidently disconnected power to the light? Or pulled a vacuum 
hose off the switch? You didn't say if the rear end lock light works or 
not --that could be a clue. My Urq is a little slow engaging the center 
locks if the temp drops below zero and the car is cold --but it the car 
is warm it works normally.
